It's not available on DVD yet. You might check eBay, as complete video
sets sometimes go up for auction there.

Yeah, they're probably copies off the laser disks - very good quality. I
don't know what they're worth, but .... well, guess it depends on how
many eps per tape, though, doesn't it? I mean, if it's only two eps per
tape, they are probably very nice (we have a set copied off the laser
disks) ...

UFO has never been released in its entirety in the USA, so the only
thing you *can* by are copies. However, sets recorded from the
Japanese laserdiscs on a high quality videotape at the fast speed
*should* look as good as any pre-recorded videotape... in fact, they
actually look a lot *better* than some of the official videotapes
sold in the UK, because the laserdiscs look so good.

If you want the *real thing* -- an original set of Japanese
laserdiscs -- then you're looking at spending over US$1000, so $150
doesn't seem so bad when seen that way, does it? :-)

In fact they are probably better quality than the pre-recorded tapes, and you
spend 26 hours dubbing a set and tell me they arent worth $5.76 per episode. I am
not the seller, but I feel his pain! lol
